Solved: Instead of giving atomic masses for nuclides as in

Chapter , Problem 70GP

(choose chapter or problem)

Instead of giving atomic masses for nuclides as in Appendix , some Tables give the mass excess, \(\Delta\), defined as \(\Delta=M-A\), where  is the atomic number and  is the mass in u. Determine the mass excess, in  and in \(\mathrm {MeV}/c^2\), for: \((a)\ \ { }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He}\); \((b)\ \ { }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}\); \((c)\ \ { }_{47}^{107} \mathrm{Ag}\); \((d)\ \ { }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}\). (e) From a glance at Appendix , can you make a generalization about the sign of  as a function of  or
